METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION IN GROUP MESSAGE DELIVERY FOR NARROWBAND INTERNET OF THINGS (NB-IoT) DEVICES

Abstract:

According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for service-specific group message delivery to narrowband Internet of things (IoT) devices. The method includes operations performed by a network node including at least one processor. The operations include receiving, on a first interface, a request for service-specific group message delivery to narrowband IoT devices supporting a specified service. The operations further include generating, by the network node, a message for service-specific group message delivery for transmission on a second interface, the message including a NB-IoT service information parameter for identifying a narrowband IoT service provided by the narrowband IoT devices supporting the specified service. The operations further include transmitting, from the network node and on the second interface the message for service-specific group message delivery to narrowband IoT devices.
